The diving on Gozo is a challenge, to say the least. 99% of the dives are shore dives, and Gozo has very little in the way of beaches, but does have lots of cliffs, crags, and winding grotto pathways, rock stairways, and a few ladders down to the water to get in. Not for the faint of heart, and not for those who might be challenged carrying their gear up, down, and over terrain for a prolonged distance to get to and from a dive site. The up side of that? Hiking to a dive site with your gear, and the cooling water to bathe in at the end of the trail. Down side? The hike back up to your transport with all your gear, and the heat beating on you while doing so.

With dive sites like the Blue Hole, the Inland Sea, Reqqa point, 3 Wrecks, Cathedral Cave, and so much more, that running out of places to dive on a 2 week dive vacation would be almost impossible to do.

Should you want to do a day, or longer, of easier diving, there is always Xlendi Bay. Xlendi Bay offers and easy in and out, shallow to deep, and even a large swim Cave swim through from Xlendi Bay to the outlaying Med.

As for Marine life, there is some, but not an abundance as you see in Caribbean locations, and other places in the world. There is a lot of Macro, Crustaceans, and schools of Amberjacks, Wrasse, and Damsel fish hiding among the coral and sea grass areas on many dive sites.
